there are very important questions that need to be asked of the obama administration. when you look at the hardidate athere is no way to explain how the rate decreased from 8.1% to 7.8%. as the former director of the nonpartisan cbo put it, it is simply implausible. a few things to keep in mind. the real unemployment rate remains unchanged, 14.6%. remember, this number includes people who have left the labor force because they cannot find a job. guess what? they are no longer counted. they are nonexistent. it is the same number that it was a month ago. number 2, the real number of unemployed or under-employed increased by 100,000 since last month and stands at 23.2 million americans. here's how that number is broken down. 12 million people are unemployed, 2 1/2 million people have given up and they are no longer counted. nearly 9 million people are working part time because they cannot find a full-time job. this is what president obama calls moving forward? there are more americans unemployed and under-employed than last month and the month before that. what is a fact,
